Duck Rabbit’s Hoppy Bunny Arrives

It’s been a while since we’ve seen something new from Duck Rabbit Brewery. The dark beer specialists from North Carolina officially bring you Hoppy Bunny ABA (American Black Ale).  This bunny is a black IPA, that isn’t stingy on the hops.  Hoppy Bunny replaces Porter for part of the year in Duck Rabbit’s lineup.

Updated:  You might see a “Motueka” designation Hoppy Bunny.  The beer is the same.  Despite the confusion, that designates the early batches.

Style: Black IPA
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft.

7.3% ABV 

Thanks to @AtlantaBeerGeek for this.  Especially because is a duck, hopping. Take a second and mull that one.

Another Half Acre Meat Wave (In Cans!)

Just like last year for Chicago Beer Week, Half Acre released Meat Wave.  It’s an English IPA with this history:

Clearly our city hosts all kinds of interests, but we combed the fabric of this town and came back with: Pigs. Chicago has been romancing pigs and their tasty bodies in ways like never before. Pigs are hot, totally trending, and part of what we do. Chicago popular culture is running rampant with our succulent friends, while our history is steeped in pork parts. What we’re saying, is that Chicago has been entrenched in the pig for ages and we’re about to climax. Meat Wave is an english-bent India Pale Ale that will be our Chicago Craft Beer Week beer. Earthy delicious, this meat centric offering is for you, Chicago.

Style: IPA
Availability: Cans, Draft

A New Krunkles From Terrapin Slashes Glasses In June

The next Krunkles is coming soon from the peeps in Athens, Georgia.   Terrapin’s Samurai Krunkles is an IPA brewed with green tea and ginger.

Taking the Orient  the rest of the world by storm, Krunkles returns! In this edition of the bearded IPA brewer’s saga, “Samurai Krunkles,” as he was once known in the Far East, pulls out  all the hops from his katana’s sheath to make this Asian flared brew. While traveling around the Pacific in a souped up rickshaw pulled by his trusty sidekick Cato, Krunkles unique brewing ingredients like jasmine rice and green tea and the finest ginger the Orient had to offer for this Samurai master’s ale.  Cheers! Spike & John

Style: IPA (w/ ginger, jasmine rice, and green tea)
Availability: 22  oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: Late June, 2012
